ABOUT ME

ToK / ToKMR Graphics is a freelance graphic designer / designer-type illustrator based in Tokyo, Japan. I work on stuff in various art & design -style depending on the client. I do drawing, painting, designing, and photo retouching, for CD artwork, logo, T-shirt, poster, game, and etc.

Japanesque Extreme Music Girl

Total album-artwork including obi and title logo for a 2-CD compilation album themed on "extreme music x Japanese culture". I designed a girl character for Japanese music-loving lads at the client's request.

Apocalypse Choking

T-shirt Design for a grind/punk/metal band Die Choking from Philadelphia.

I designed this "apocalyptic vision" based on requests from the band. The band's music sounds brutal, but I also feel it intelligently. So I drew the picture somewhat realistic to make it look convincing, and worked on making it that fits the band's songs anyway.(The official band logo isn't designed by me)

Japan Bash Robot

Character and logo design for an event Japan Bash at the largest film & music festival SXSW in Austin, Texas, U.S. in 2008.

I designed a guitar amp robot in comic-style themed on "Japanese culture x rock music" as a request from the client, also designed a katakana logo "Japan Bash (ジャパンバッシュ)" like a robot anime's one to suit the robot.

Battle Metal Icons

The band have made songs based on Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Empire, Varangian Gard (Scandinavian mercenaries hired by Byzantine Emperors), and Norse mythology. And I designed this Turisas-style icons based on their elements and ideas from the band.
